On May 4th, the Islamic Republic's army issued a statement claiming it had warned U.S. Navy destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz area with radio warnings and firing warning shots after the U.S. vessels turned off their radars in the Sea of Oman. The statement added that Iran's navy later fired cruise missiles, rockets, and combat drones near the U.S. ships due to their continued disregard of the initial warnings.
